Unedited race
notes from our live reporting page
-
1658 - Jamie
takes it, the Kawasaki man breaks through for the win, Giles
2nd, Bugden 3rd, Allerton 4th, Brookes 5th, Fergusson 6th,
Henderson 7th, Gobert 8th
- 1657 - Bugden has taken
third place from Allerton now but with two laps to run that
fight is probably going to go all the way. I think Jamie has
it for the win unless he makes a mistake or Gilesy steps
things up to another level...
- 1655 - Lapped traffic for
the leaders now and it looked as though Gilesy got held up a
little by one of them which gave Jamie a couple of bike
lengths, that could prove vital in the run to the line and
could be just what Jamie needed but I think it is fair to
say that if anyone deserves a little bit of luck it is Jamie
as he certainly hasn't had much go his way this season
- 1654 - Jamie and Shawn
have broken away from Allerton to the tune of two seconds
now. Bugden closing on Allerton...
- 1652 - Hendo trying to
take 7th place from Anthony Gobert. He did exactly
that with a hugely sideways move under brakes at the end of
the back straight but then nearly loses the rear on the way
out of the next turn which allows Anthony to get back up on
him but Hendo gets him again at the next turn, the pair
having some serious fun and games.
- 1651 - Bugden has got 4th
from Brookes. Jamie still leading Giles and Allerton but
Bugden the fastest man on the track on that last lap which
was the fastest lap of the race thus far but he is a couple
of seconds behind the leading trio. 6 laps to run
- 1650 - Bugden is now all
over Brookes and challenging for 4th.
- 1648 - Jamie torturing his
Michelin rear out of some of the turns while Giles seems to
be getting better drive but it didn't seem to make much
difference as Jamie was still getting enough grip to stay
there and then made his move with 8 laps to go to take his
turn up front. Giles getting quite sideways under
brakes while Jamie getting a little sideways on the power
- 1647 - The leading duo
have all put in 1m10.7s laps so far in this race and the top
three are still covered by only a second
- 1645 - Giles just managing
to stay ahead of Jamie but the Kawasaki man looks determined
and doesn't look as though he wants to settle for 2nd place.
Allerton still with them only a couple of lengths behind
while Brookes is 1.5 seconds further behind in 4th place
ahead of his team-mate Adam Fergusson who is being hassled
by Bugden and Gobert
- 1643 - On the second lap
Fergusson ran very wide in the right hander after the end of
the back straight to lose a lot of time while up front Jamie
Stauffer had promoted himself to second place after getting
the better of Allerton, Giles still in front but Jamie
looking for a way through...
- 1641 - Away they go for
another attempt at getting a clean race and this time around
it is Allerton from Giles and Jamie Stauffer but Giles takes
the lead up the inside at the end of the back straight,
Brookes 4th, Fergusson 5th
- 1637 - The clean up effort
has been completed and sanity has prevailed with it now
being called a complete re-start but we have a reduced
distance of 14 laps from the originally scheduled 16 lap
duration. Riders on the grid now and will be off for their
warm up lap shortly
- 1615 - Superbikes got away
for their final encounter for the day with Jamie Stauffer
leading from Giles and Allerton while Anthony Gobert had got
up to 4th place after a great start but was then eclipsed by
Fergusson and Bugden around the back of the circuit. As they
started lap two it was Jamie still in front by 4-tenths over
Giles who in turn had half a second on Allerton. Bugden had
got the better of Brookes for 4th place and that pair were
being followed by Fergusson, Gobert and Holland. Jamie
Stauffer nearly got highsided late on the third lap and
Charlton visited the dirt and then the red flag came out,
possibly due to the chance of an oil down. So with all
riders completing two laps and many already crossed the line
to start their 3rd lap it was called that it would be a two
part race with the first two laps combined with a latter 14
lap re-start in order to decide the final result in this
second Superbike race.
- 1600 - Superbikes are out shortly for their second and final
race for the day
